LIHEAP: Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program

LIHEAP is a Federal program that provides assistance to individuals who are having trouble paying their electric, natural gas or other energy bills. The LIHEAP program provides cash and crisis assistance by a direct payment to a vendor, such as a utility like PECO. LIHEAP also has money allocated for emergencies including reinstating service that has been shut-off for non-payment, fuel payments, and repairing leaking pipes and broken furnaces.

Homeowners, renters, roomers and subsidized housing tenants may be eligible. Last year LIHEAP helped PECO customers by providing more than 60,000 grants totaling more than $14 million.

If you have questions about an application that you completed and submitted, please contact your local county assistance office or call 1-866-857-7095.
